Reviews of OEM Volkswagen oil filter

B5 Passat (and Audi A4, same gen), 1.8T.

Filter - a big-ass 1.5 liter spin-on - mounted at an angle, directly above the front subframe.

Remove from top, after relocating the coolant tank.

Strategically use absorbent mat (floor diaper) to contain the inevitable spill.

Tbf the b6 passat will probably rust away just by existing before the engine gives up. That being said, 1.4tsi engine is not great not terrible. Many problems with them are caused by lack of maintenance and by cheap oil filters.

I'd just recommend getting a VW oil filter. Some of the aftermarkets are really cheap and can collapse in on themselves.

VW Genuine filters used on all oil changes too.

I\u2019ve done this method for 10 years on my tuned 15\u2019 Golf TSI. Since brand new to 150k miles. I change the filter every other oil change... The factory filters are rated for 10,000 miles I don\u2019t see an issue but I do have an issue of leaving oil in that long, which is why I changed it at 5000 mile intervals.

Crushed filter seen here as well, with low oil pressure light randomly firing at idle. Factory filter is only a couple bucks more (that\u2019s what went in yesterday) - problem solved!

I Use them for 10k oil changes for my wifes jetta ...good filter.....I buy 10 at a time......

I worked on a 2.5L 4 cylinder Passat not too long ago and the drain plug was a nightmare to get off, the oil filter needed a special socket- it was like a 32mm internal hex- I needed to borrow from a master tech

VW Touareg V6 roughly $600 at an independent euro mechanic for regular service

Das original VW öl bekommst du für 10€/l auf ebay und den ölfilter wahrscheinlich für um die 10€.
